Starring veteran stage, film, and TV actor, Victor Raider-Wexler, “Eddie: The Friendship That Changed History,” tells the fascinating true story of Eddie Jacobson, an Army buddy, former business partner, and lifelong friend of President Harry S. Truman, who was instrumental in convincing Truman to support the United Nations resolution establishing the state of Israel in 1948. This one-man play was written by Bob Feinberg and Marvin Starkman.

This production coincides with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the modern state of Israel. It is a co-production of Kansas City Actors Theatre and sponsored by The Truman Library Institute.
